Very good the other members have shelved Chatfield. They've done with him. But not if he knows it! That man will hunt the Pike and her people whoever they are relentlessly when he gets off this." "I wish we knew what it is that we're on!" said Copplestone. "Impossible till daybreak," replied Vickers.
Chatfield moaned and drew haltingly nearer to the other three, as if he found some comfort in their mere presence. "It's the money!" he whispered. "The money as was in the Norcaster Bank two lots of it. He the Squire gave me authority to get out his lot what was standing in his name, you know and the other the estate lot that was standing in mine some fifty thousand pounds in all, Mr. Vickers.
And in that glance he recognized her Addie Chatfield! But in the moment of that glance Copplestone also recognized something vastly more important. Here was the explanation of the mystery of the early-morning doings at the old tower. The footprints of a woman who wore fashionable and elegant boots? Addie Chatfield, of course!

Seems to me we're wasting time here far better get nearer more tangible things. Chatfield, for instance. Or, go back to town and find out what your friend Swallow has done."
